That's quite a leap there.<BR/><BR/>Don't get me wrong: it must be very unsettling to find yourself thinking thoughts you always believed you wouldn't think, and that line you typed was indeed a bit misguided.<BR/><BR/>But those feelings of entitlement (whether to a hierarchical position or to loot) that produced your thought and your typed line, and also produced the bad behavior of those Tanks at 60, are in themselves not bad. On the contrary, they are very human. You put a lot of time and effort in your toon, and it shows: raids seem to be working better when you are tanking and as far as I gather, you are now the (unofficial) main tank of your guild. You are rightfully proud of what you have achieved. It is jarring if some of your guildmates do not have a measure of recognition for that as well.<BR/><BR/>Besides, it is entirely inefficient if a guild raid can't wait twenty minutes for you to come online so they have a higher chance of downing a boss without problems. Same thing holds for other key players, of course, you are not the only one, but you are definitely one of them.<BR/><BR/>It's up to you to show that you can use these feelings of entitlement to your advantage: by pointing out the inefficiency of organizing raids that key players can not attend, and suggesting a better way. That's not for your own personal good, that's better for the whole guild.<BR/><BR/>Well, that's what I wanted to say about it. Hope I made myself clear, if not, tell me; I'll be checking this thread :-).Bastiaannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3190673057769546823.post-51905990399403057442008-01-22T17:16:00.000-05:002008-01-22T17:16:00.000-05:00Hey, at least you recognized what you were doing a...Hey, at least you recognized what you were doing and apologized; a lot of people never see their own bad behavior even when it's pointed out, to say nothing of just holding themselves to a higher standard.<BR/><BR/>You know, the whole "comfort the afflicted / afflict the comfortable" thing. ;)<BR/><BR/>Fedaykin98Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3190673057769546823.post-69384484824658554452008-01-22T15:29:00.000-05:002008-01-22T15:29:00.000-05:00"Everything I hated in the Tanks back at level 60,..."Everything I hated in the Tanks back at level 60, I was seeing develop in myself.
